Black Water Dragon Fountain Pen Ruby Red

Dating back to 3000 BC, the Chinese Dragon is the ultimate symbol for good fortune. The Year of the Dragon takes place every 12 years. According to the Chinese calendar, 2012 is a strong Water year. Since the color of Water in the Chinese Astrology Five Elements System (Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth) is related to Black, 2012 is a Black Dragon, Water Dragon or more precisely a Black Water Dragon year. The Black Water Dragon incorporates multiple levels of Guilloché engraving and a combination of translucent and opaque Hard Enamel. The entire body of each pen is first cut down to the level of the background, leaving the ancient Chinese symbol for water in either a mid or high relief. Translucent and Opaque Hard Enamels are repeatedly kiln-fired and filed by hand, resulting in the beautiful and enduring finish of true Hard Enamel.

English novelist Daniel Defoe is the author of Robinson Crusoe, a story of a man shipwrecked alone on an island. The Montblanc Palm Green ink color recalls the prominent color of the Robinson Crusoe island.
